    Just my 2c but I doubt that was a legitimately new photo. The two Twitter accounts that shared it (JesusChrysler1 and kipshots) seem to simply post tons of photos/articles of celebrities found online, so nothing that would make you think they have a special connection to JLL or anything, and the new FB post from his sister mentions he's at home but doesn't seem to say he's in great health. There hasn't been anything on his IG since the image with Kristofferson (which didn't even mention he was in the hospital to begin with), when you'd think that if he was actually able to walk around and greet fans, they'd post something ASAP, given that he appeared to be virtually dead there and was just death hoaxed...

    I hope so. The shame nightmares I'll have about being the first to post TMZ's false report won't go away until he actually croaks.

    Variety checks in, with a comment from his representative: I like that the Variety writer even comments that saying he's "alive and well" would be a stretch

    Yeah, in the past ~10 years I've followed deadpooling, I've only noticed a few (and it's usually stuff that wasn't their problem, like Tony Dow and Tanya Roberts). The potentially apocryphal story about Lil Wayne dying per them might have been before my time. If JLL actually does live on for, like, over a month, people won't forget that one quickly. Definitely their biggest blunder I've seen off the top of my head. But we all make mistakes!

    Definitely too much smoke for there not to be something IMO. But, oof, what a ding for TMZ's credibility. Now everyone doubting one of their death reports can just go "remember JLL?"

    Local Tennessee affiliate reporting it too. Fairly convinced. Never seen TMZ yank an obituary like that, though...

    If TMZ ever picked someone to blow it on, hard to think of someone more fitting than Jerry Lee Lewis the indestructible!

    The Dead of 2022

    A family member of his posted about his death (before it was confirmed) on Reddit as u/elijahwoodman81 and said he had been in poor health for a while to the point where he couldn't walk without pain, and that his death appeared to be a heart attack. His account got suspended and a lot of his comments are gone, but the threads are still semi-legible: https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/uy89nu/ray_liotta_will_be_announced_dead_today/ https://www.reddit.com/r/confessions/comments/uy7xjv/deleted_by_user/

    Cartoonists And Animators

    The Animation Guild recently published their in-progress 2022 memorial list. Spotted a couple names on it that don't have a recorded death date anywhere: Jennifer Dolce (IMDb), editor (The Simpsons, Puss in Boots, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Penguins of Madagascar) Karl Geurs (IMDb), co-writer of the recent classic Bobbleheads: The Movie, a lot of Winnie the Pooh/Strawberry Shortcake/Care Bears-type stuff, and a Star Trek: The Next Generation episode Janet Quen (IMDb), vfx artist (Volcano, Armageddon, Pearl Harbor, Spider-Man, The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, Casino Royale, about 100 other movies) Paul Shardlow (IMDb), art director and animator (Watership Down, Heavy Metal, Madagascar, Bee Movie, had an acting role in Flushed Away) There's a tweet suggesting Geurs died in May. Don't see anything on the others.

    Ideas and possibilities for 2023

    The problem with adding Hedren is, as the recent "classic actress" poll showed, there are still a fair amount of 1930/1931 born actresses who still seem in solid health, including her. While she's worth the DL, there isn't much out there to suggest any of them over the other (outside of Woodward), so I can understand the reticence to pick just one or two. Guys like Baxter, Attenborough, Brooks, Belafonte, etc. are at least into their mid-90s by now, and they're men, where you generally don't really expect extreme longevity because Kirk Douglas hogged all of it for himself.

    I remember mentioning deadpooling IRL to a relative of mine after Stan Lee's death. They had absolutely no clue what I was talking about, and clearly assumed I was babbling nonsense. So that was probably the first and last time. Given that I manage a few entertainment sites, I've occasionally ran deadpools on them to moderate success. There are a few users who hate them for being morbid and look down on me a little for doing them. Too bad for me then!

    For posterity's sake, she was actually born in 1949, not the commonly reported 1956: NAME: Judy Tenuta BORN: Nov 1949 AGE: 72 LIVES IN: Studio City, CA edit: I see that, as I was typing this, Variety and Deadline have put out articles with the correct age.
